Chapter 16: The Mysterious Mr. Mo

  Just as Mo was hesitating, Yu's eldest daughter, Hehua, suddenly ran in, panting slightly, and said to Mo: "Third Aunt, Third Uncle has brought Nian'ge and Guihua back."

  After hearing Lotus's words, Mo Shi, who was originally sitting on a wooden bench picking vegetables, threw away the vegetables in her hand and rushed out straight away.

  Watching Mo's back as he ran out, Yu couldn't help but sigh and then said to Hehua: "Quickly pick the vegetables, we'll cook dinner ourselves tonight!"

  The Chu family has a rule for cooking, three daughters-in-law take turns every day. Although Lu Shi rarely cooks on ordinary days, when it's her turn to cook, even the laziest of her will be busy in the kitchen.

  Unless there are very special circumstances, three daughters-in-law will only help each other and will not completely replace anyone's work.

  It can be seen from this that today's situation is quite special.

  When Mo ran out of the kitchen, he happened to see Chu Lishou holding Osmanthus and supporting Chu Yannian walking in from the gate.

  "What's wrong? Can't even walk anymore?" Mrs. Mo furrowed her brow and rushed to Chu Yannian's side, carefully examining her precious son from head to toe. Finally, it was Chu Yannian who spoke up, somewhat embarrassed: "Mother, I'm fine, just my legs are numb from kneeling for too long."

  Chu Lishou, who was standing beside him, also echoed: "Let's not talk about it for now, let's go inside and discuss it."

  As they spoke, a family of several people entered the house one after another.

  Mo didn't ask much, and directly lifted Chu Yan Nian's pant leg. When he saw the red bruise on his knee, tears instantly fell from his eyes.

  The osmanthus flower didn't seem to have any effect, and after checking my knee, I found that it was just a little red. Only then did I breathe a sigh of relief. When I looked up again, I saw my mother crying, so I quickly opened my mouth to comfort her: "Mother, don't worry, my brother and I are fine. Just use a hot towel tonight, and we'll be better tomorrow."

  Mo's "ai ai" responded, turned around and was about to get a towel, but was suddenly stopped by Chu Yan Nian.

  "Daughter, what's wrong with your eyes?"

  Several others stared straight at Mo Shi, only to find that his eyes were severely swollen, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became much more tense.

  It's not that Mo didn't cry on ordinary days, but she had never cried like this before. What kind of big thing must have happened to make this strong woman cry so much?

  "No, nothing." Mo Shi's eyes sparkled with deep feeling as she tried to avoid everyone's attention, picking up the basin under the plum blossom and preparing to leave.

  "Xiao De, stop Niang!" Guihua suddenly spoke up. Chu Yande reacted quickly and lifted his small foot to rush towards Moshi.

  Just as they were about to rush to Moshi's side, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. Everyone turned their heads to look and found that it was Meihua who had walked in with a basin of water.

  As soon as Mei Hua entered the house, she saw that everyone in her family was there. She was taken aback for a moment, then exclaimed, "You're all back!"

  Looking at the plum blossom's reaction, Osmanthus couldn't help but feel a little strange. According to her sister's behavior, even if she wasn't happy, she should have shown some anger, but judging from her previous reaction, it seemed like there were many other complex emotions mixed in.

  "Plum Blossom, hurry up and go cook!" Madam Mo put down the empty basin in her hand, snatched the water basin from Plum Blossom's hand, and without caring whether Plum Blossom had anything else to say, she started driving her out.
